[Histonet] Devasting news on 88305TC component

[Webster, Thomas S.]

I wish there was a way to put a positive spin on this but  I can't think of any. We can only hope it kills off client billing somehow.

Whomever the "stakeholder" was that told CMS a typical 88305 costs 18 bucks, I'd love to know how he/she came up with that number. It's insultingly low.

I believe whoever it was had the goal to stop the proliferation of POLs. Wouldn't surprise me if they worked for a large national lab that had lost a lot of business to POLs.
